How I did it
How to donate money to charity
It took me
2 years
It made me

How I did it: Every year, when I get the taxation reports for the previous year, I calculate the 0.7% budget and start spending. I've allocated about half to microloaning, since that money keeps on helping -- once it's paid back, I keep on reloaning.I've tried to consider what kinds of things really help, and based on that I support some basic infrastrucuture projects (like building wells) and education (building schools, providing teachers and school … Read how I did it…

get Olohuone back (read all 2 entries…)
Olohuone @ Helsinki book fair 3 months ago

Electronic Frontier Finland (6 N 45) has a very olohuone-like feeling, our stuff is from recycling centre :-)

Some entry tickets might be available too (or if you have the Suomalainen kirjakauppa customer card thingie, you should get a couple of free tickets with that from them).

donate money to charity
My donation goal is 0.7% of my gross income 2 years ago

Some time during last year I read Jeffrey Sachs’ book The End of Poverty. Finland does not meet the official goal (0.7% of gross national product) for development aid – very few countries do, I think Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg and Netherlands are the only ones.

Since I am fairly well-to-do at the moment, I decided to try to use 0.7% of my personal gross income for charitable purposes. I made practical donations via a couple of Finnish charity groups. What did I get? I bought a cow, chickens, school supplies, light, saplings, a goat, pigs, medical services and AIDS work for developing countries. I mean to do this again in 2007.

see Indigo Girls in concert (read all 2 entries…)
Absolutely fabulous 2 years ago

Indigo Girls were playing on February 15 at Shepherds Bush Empire. My preordered tickets never showed up (I still need to make a complaint, since my card has been charged), but tickets were luckily available at the door, and we got in.

The band played a pretty long set, quite a few songs from the latest album, but also the older stuff and some of my all-time favourites. The most memorable performance for me was Chickenman mixed with Bitterroot. The audience also sang along really well in Closer to Fine. I will try to configure my travel calendar to give me another opportunity to hear Indigo Girls live.
